How Cúchulainn Got His Name

In A Nutshell #2

by Ann Carroll

Cúchulainn wanted to be remembered forever. The greatest of heroes, his powers were magical. No one could outdo him in strength, or ever win a race against him, or beat him in battle. He was invincible and tales of his deeds are still told.
And perhaps the most famous of all stories is how Cúchulainn got his name.

For a short, child-appropriate re-telling this is a delightful little nugget. I, personally, always have a problem with super cartoon-y drawings rather than more elegant illustrations. And while I know this was only about how Cuchulainn got his name it still felt rather too abrupt at the end. Perhaps some little overview of one or two of his exploits?

Nonetheless an excellent introduction to youngsters of this central Irish folk hero.
